Okay, I usually go to the cinema once or twice a month. I really enjoy the immersive experience that you simply cannot get at home. It's also a nice chance to catch up with my friends and unwind after a busy week. On top of that, since I don't have Wi-Fi at home, going to the cinema is often the easiest way for me to watch a newly released movie.
